"Yeah but Snape is always a prick," Harry said as he walked down the halls with Tracy and Daphne. "I mean I really wish the guy would just fuck off and leave me alone instead of constantly singling me out then looking insulted if I do verbally respond and looking constipated when I don't verbally respond. I mean 'Potter, ten points from Gryffindor for breathing too loud, are you really so arrogant as to need everyone to constantly hear you?', any other school, muggle or magical, besides Hogwarts and Snape would have been booted out by now."
"I don't know why he still has a job here." Tracy replied.
"Dumbledore is my guess." Daphne responded.
"Mine too." Harry agreed. "I will never begin to pretend that I fully understand what Dumbledore is thinking but..."
"Harry," A voice interrupted, the trio looked to see Astoria now walking alongside them though she wrapped her arms around Harry's arm. "how are you?"
"He's talking with your sister, thanks for saying hello." Daphne said, rolling her eyes. Astoria looked at Daphne as if she had just noticed her.
"Oh hi Daph," She said in an off hand manner before looking back towards Harry and missing Daphne pretending to strangle her. "I heard that yesterday a girl tried to mess with Luna's stuff and ended up paralysed until a teacher was able to fix them. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?" She asked, grinning at him.
"It was nargles." Harry said immediately.
"I know it was you." Astoria said, rolling here yes. "Thank you for helping her."
"Potter, does my sister already have you wrapped around her finger?" Daphne sighed.
"Aw are you jealous 'Daffy'?" Astoria smirked.
"I'm sorry but...'Daffy'?" Harry smirked alongside her.
"I hate you both." Daphne said.
"No you don't." Astoria and Harry said at the time.
"Sweet Merlin they are multiplying." Tracy said.
"Oi Potter." A voice drawled, Harry resisted the urge to groan and bang his head against the wall as the group stopped in their tracks while Draco Malfoy walked up to him with Crabbe and Goyle following behind him. "A bit young for you isn't she?" Malfoy drawled as he looked at Astoria who was still holding Harry's arm, though the expression on his face told everyone that he thought he had just made a hilarious joke. "I suppose she could be broken in." He added, Astoria nervously hid behind Daphne and Harry, the former looked furious at Malfoy while Harry decided to take his usual effective approach when it came to Malfoy.
"Just friends Malfoy, I understand that that is not a concept you are familiar with, maybe one day you might. The only questions left are when and just the question of how much you are going to pay them, Merlin knows they wouldn't be your friends because of your personality." Harry replied.
"Shut it Potter!" Malfoy snapped.
"How original," Harry said in a dry voice. "Malfoy everyone has the right to be stupid but what you are doing is abusing that privilege."
"One day Potter I am going to personally teach you why you should respect your betters!"
"Malfoy you have become so desperate to get attention that you have fallen low enough to the point where you need to mess with a first year just to try and get a reaction, you are not my superior, you are a pathetic child crying out for attention. Far below what I deem worthy of my attention, forget my respect Malfoy, I have little patience for bullies and idiots. You are both."
"Pathetic?!" Malfoy demanded, his face red with anger. "How dare...I'll show you..." Malfoy pulled out his wand only to get blasted back and land on the floor, Harry quickly stunned Crabbe and Goyle before they could do anything.
"You were saying Malfoy?" Harry asked as he disarmed Malfoy.
"You will pay for this Potter, you and all the blood traitors and mudbloods! The dark lord will punish you all and..." Malfoy found himself cut off by a stunner from Daphne.
"Prick." She said under her breath so her sister couldn't hear. "Are you alright?" Daphne asked Astoria.
"You two were awesome!" Astoria said as she looked up at the both of them with awe.
"Did he say the 'dark lord'?" Tracy asked.
"Oh this is brilliant!" Harry laughed.
"What? How?" Astoria asked.
"Listen up," Harry said. "I am going to teach you an important lesson, there is a time and place for a Gryffindor, there is a time and place for a Slytherin, same with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. You got to know when to act like which one, right now..." Harry paused and used his wand to levitate Malfoy. "...I am going to act like all four." Harry said before turning to Tracy and Daphne. "You two take Crabbe and Goyle and all three of you follow me." Harry said, he started walking with the girls following behind him as they levitated Crabbe and Goyle.
"What do you mean?" Astoria asked as she followed alongside him.
"Now I showed my Hufflepuff side by standing up for my friends, would you agree?" Harry asked her.
